On her must-have products: “I love Pai organic skincare — particulary the Chamomile and Rosehip Cream. I am also a fan of Lucas’ Papaw Ointment — my best friend sends it to me [from Australia].”

Blackmores Vitamin B12 (2.), $11.95, 1800 803 760.

Lucas’ Pawpaw Ointment (1.), $12.75, (07) 3273 1549.
On keeping up energy levels: “As a vegetarian I get very low in vitamin B12, so I have shots every month. If I skip one, I get more colds and have less energy. I also take vitamin D and calcium.”

On getting that Black Swan body: “Twelve months before [the filming of Black Swan] I did five to eight hours a day of ballet toning and swimming, plus in the final months three more hours of choreography. I really discovered my capabilities for flexibility, strength and endurance — and pain. Since then, I’ve stopped doing high–impact exercise such as running, and now do more hiking, swimming and using the elliptical machine.”

In her makeup bag: “I was never into red lipstick, but I wore Rouge Dior Rouge Blossom for the Miss Dior Chèrie ad [directed by Sofia Coppola] and I’ve loved it ever since. And the Diorshow Mascara is amazing. In perfume I love florals and jasmine. When I was filming Star Wars in Tunisia, kids on the streets used to sell us jasmine. I’m a one-perfume kind of girl — that way, people recognise it when you walk into a room.”
